The new saga of Link’s adventures has an official release date! This’ll be the first project in 5 years after the Breath of the Wild came out, and we’re fairly certain we’ll see a similar open world layout, but will anything else change, we wonder? For instance, we can’t be certain about the multiplayer option. So as far as we know, is Zelda Tears of the Kingdom multiplayer?

Here’s what we’ve got so far.

Is Tears of the Kingdom multiplayer?

Well, as far as we can tell, there will not be a multiplayer option for Tears of the Kingdom. As with most Legend of Zelda titles, a multiplayer option is out of the question, with a history firmly rooted on single-player puzzle-solving adventures.

Take a look at the trailer here.

However, what we believe might have brought this into doubt or even question, is the emergence of this Reddit post. The post details rumours about the existence of a multiplayer mode in TotK. The basis of this is founded within an image of the supposed booklet page of Tears of the Kingdom, showing that it will have Nintendo Switch Online functionality enabled.

Whilst we can’t rule it out, we think that this might actually be that cloud saving will be activated throughout the adventure, and not the existence of a playable multiplayer mode.

On the other hand, fans are also theorize that a Tingle Bottles feature in Wind Waker HD or something to that end might be included in TotK. Tingle Bottles basically meant that users could send messages and screenshots to other random players through the Miiverse.
